My everyday make-up routine.

 Hello guys, today I thought I would share with you my every day make up routine. I do mix it up sometimes but today I'm not having a very good skin day so I'd rather not attract any extra attention to my face!

These are my main products, I use 90% of them every day without a doubt.



The foundation I use is Bourjois happy light in the shade No.52 which is called light beige but I have medium skin and even light beige is a little orange for me. It is a bit disappointing that the foundation only comes in 5 shades which is almost unheard of now days, but the coverage is perfect for me. It's a medium coverage but it seems to cover blemishes well. I use my real techniques face brush with the foundation and they are the perfect partnership. I would say this is the perfect dupe for the YSL touche eclat foundation. Lets just pray they bring out new shades!
The collection 2000 concealer is very new to my make up bag and I'm not really sure I needed it, but as so many bloggers use it I had to see what I was missing out on. I like using it on my nose as foundation on my nose seems to simply disappear but no where else as it is very cakey and if I use it under my eyes it shows up all the lines I had no idea I had. The shade I use is light 2.

Many people many never have heard of this blusher before but it is my holy grail blusher. It is a pink coloured blusher with a corally tint to it. It's subtle with a slight shimmer which I like. I use this in winter and then use both a little bit of bronzer and the blusher. It's by Bare minerals and the shade is called aphrodisiac. The brush I use is another bare minerals brush, they are my favourite for powder products and they are quite petite so they are great for travelling! 
Another bare minerals product which I'm in love with is my eye palette in 'the truth', it has a great selection of colours great for a nude look, usually I will use the lightest colour all over my eye and then the darkest shade on my lash line to give a subtle smoky look. I also use the darkest shade for my eyebrows. I use the benefit creasless cream shadow in the shade bikini-tini in the lower corner of my eye to add some shimmer to my look. My favourite mascara I have ever used is this lash potion mascara by Revlon, this has had some pretty bad reviews over on boots and other such websites but I don't understand why. I have shorter than short eyelashes and this makes me have volumous, lengthened eyelashes. I love the brush too as it's so big. I have the shade brown which I think is such a good move as it's more natural. Here is the link to the precision eye brush


I'm a pretty simple gal' when it comes to lip products, as long as it hydrates my lips that's all I ask for. I will very occasionally wear a red lip but usually I just wear a lip balm. Up till a couple of months ago I was just wearing vaseline cocoa butter lip balm but I have recently bought the hydrate baby lips balm by maybelline which is great for a touch up. Another I do like is the revlon butter balm, mine is in the shade juicy papaya as seen above. It's ever so sheer but the only down side is that it never lasts more than an hour - upside down smiley face!

Here is the finished result...
